A MEMORIAL TRIBUTE^ 

FOR a thousand years Athens was a university town. 
Its several great schools of philosophy were in reality 
so many independent colleges, each with a tradition, or- 
ganization, and discipline of its own. The president of one 
of these colleges lived in office to the ripe old age of ninety- 
nine years. In a famous hymn bearing his name he sang, 
"O God most glorious, called by many a name . . . We 
are Thy children." The great pioneer preacher of our own 
era wrote, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave 
the increase." "I dressed his wound — God healed him," 
said a distinguished French surgeon lately of a recovered 
soldier. It is in some such spirit of dependence — thus ex- 
pressed in turn by surgeon, missionary, philosopher — 
acknowledging out of our own personal experience, in 
moments of exaltation a force not ourselves making for 
righteousness, in seasons of depression a Father to whom 
we pray fervently, in days of even tenor a friend within 
reach, a faith within reason, a fear within wisdom, — it is in 
some such spirit of dependence, sustaining intellect, energy, 
courage, enthusiasm, and independence alike, that we would 
face the tasks of a new year marked by the return of our 
heroes, the renewal of our life, the reunion of Rice men, 
the revival of learning, and great rejoicing in hope. 

For the heroes have returned. Heroes of the longbow 
and battle-ax. Heroes of the fire-ball and battering-ram. 

1 From a Rice address. 



2 A Memorial Tribute 

Heroes of machine-gun, scout patrol, and gas bomb. Heroes 
of torpedo-boat, trench, tanks, deHavilands. Heroes of 
the horrors. Heroines of the healing art. Heroines of 
the Red Cross. Heroines of the refugees. Heroines 
of the canteen, ambulance, and signal corps. Heroines from 
the front. 

And there are those in shining armor: Marshall, stu- 
dent of science, first Rice Master of Arts; Cain, Bachelor 
of Arts, seeking a scholar's career; and their comrades of 
our burning cross, who, before winning academic spurs, 
rushed in and won their stars of gold: Aycock, pioneer 
student soldier of the Training Corps; and Coaxes, sharp- 
shooting gunner in the Argonne; and Hines, striving to 
go overseas only to be lost at sea; and Patterson, swift 
to his duty, faithful to trust; and Stell, sure of foot and 
fleet of spirit, gone west in the sky; and Lillard, lithe, 
alert, agile of mind; and Killough, courtly knight of 
friendly mien and fearless courage; and Manaker, genial, 
joy of his fellows, flown home from the clouds; and Rey- 
nolds, loyal, self-reliant son of the plains; and McGuiRE, 
mirthful and earnest, cheerfully serving his turn; and 
Rudd, star on the field, fallen in flight as falling star flashes; 
and Wood, wide-awake, sunny, steadily gaining his way; 
and South, singing the songs of the sea, and of them that go 
down to the sea in ships; and Haltom, light-hearted, hand- 
some, and hale, passed on on the wing as the eagle passes. 

And may we, too, carry on. 

Because there is but one truth; 
Because there is but one banner ; 
Because there is but one light ; 
Because we have with us our youth 
Once, and one chance and one manner 
Of service, and then the night. 



A Memorial Tribute 3 

Or perhaps, rather than these Hnes of Swinburne, the lines 
of Simonides; may we, too, carry on, because 

These men on entering Death's o'ershadowing gloom 
Lustre undimmed on their dear homeland shed. 
• But divine honour freed them from their doom 
In glory; tho' they died they are not dead. 

The whole earth is their sepulchre; and their story is not graven 
only on stone over their native earth, but lives on far away, without 
visible symbol, woven into the stuff of other men's lives. For you 
now it remains to rival what they have done, and, knowing the secret 
of happiness to be freedom and the secret of freedom a brave heart, 
squarely to face the future and all its perils. — Pericles to the 
Athenians.

COMMEMORATION SERMON ^ 

THIS service of commemoration to which we now come, 
and rightly come, as the beginning of this day of re- 
union and rejoicing, is at once a memorial and a eucharist, 
a service of grateful remembrance and thoughtful thanks- 
giving as before God and man. 

"There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; 
pray, love, remember; and there is pansies, 
that's for thoughts." 

So the great master of English speech has the "gentle 
Ophelia" give pathetic utterance to a very deep longing 
of the human heart, perhaps the deepest, the longing for 
thoughtful and loving remembrance; and it is in glad re- 
sponse to the unuttered appeal of that longing that we would 
now, before all else in this day's celebration, lift up con- 
sciously into our minds and hearts those of our comrades 
of yesterday who answer not to our call to-day, who walk 
here these halls with us no more, that we may have fellow- 
ship with them yet once again. 

Aycock; Cain; Coates; Haltom; Hines; Killough; Lil- 
lard; Manaker; Marshall; McGuire; Patterson; Reynolds; 
Rudd; South; Stell; Wood. 

These are they of the brotherhood who have fought the 
fight and kept the faith even unto death. Worthy sons of 

1 Sermon preached by Peter Gray Sears, Rector of Christ Church, Houston, 
Texas, at a special commemorative service held in the Academic Court of 
the Rice Institute, at nine-thirty o'clock in the morning of Thanksgiving Day, 
Thursday, November 27, 1919.

Commemoration Sermon 5 

worthy sires, who "loved their land with a love far-brought," 
they have passed nobly on ahead of us within the walls of 
the Mystic City, "where loyal hearts and true stand ever 
in the hght" ; and in affectionate recollection we would speak 
to them, and say : 

"Valiant Hearts, who to your glory came 
Through dust of conflict and through battle flame; 
Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved, 
Your memory hallowed in the Land you loved. 

"Proudly you gathered, rank on rank to war, 
As who had heard God's message from afar ; 
All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave 
To save mankind; yourselves you scorned to save!" 

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down 
his life for his friends." And no life is so honorable or so 
fruitful as such a death. 

With priority of honor and loving remembrance thus 
given first, as is most justly due, to those who have nobly 
died, let us turn in grateful recognition and with no less 
measure of honor to those who have not died but who 
have nobly lived, and still live, who also went forth as true 
men to fight the fight and keep the faith, and who have 
returned and are here with us to-day in glad and thankful 
reunion. 

When we have thought the matter through, we shall see, 
I think, that the fact of death of the body anywhere or at 
any time, whether away from home in days of war or at 
home in days of peace, in every case is wholly incidental, 
if not indeed more or less accidental; and in no case does 
it of itself determine the real spiritual worth of a man's 
work or of the man himself. It is the dehberate inward act 
of a man's will that measures a man, and not the outward 



6 Commemoration Sermon 

physical results of that act. For a man to give his life 
in high and holy devotion to his country's cause, or to any 
cause, is an act of his will. It may involve the death of his 
body, or it may not. It does involve his willingness to die. 
It demands that he "hold not his life dear to himself." But 
the value of his act is in the inward devotion of his life and 
the loyalty of service following that devotion, and not in 
the possible consequent death of his body as the result of 
that devotion and service. Of two soldiers who go out to 
the battle together side by side, one receives the shot in his 
heart, dies, and is buried on the field of honor beneath 
"The Wooden Cross"; the other lives on through the bat- 
tle, receives no wound, comes back to his home unscathed; 
and certainly he has laid down his life for his country's 
cause just as truly as the one who died, 

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay 
down his life for his friends." Never was truer word 
spoken. But the reality of that love and the greatness of 
that love is in the willingness to lay down the life, not in 
the physical consequences of that willingness. 

Let us, then, make our tribute of loving gratitude to read: 

AD MAJOREM GLORIAM MORTUORUM NEC NGN VIVORUM ! 

And as we say "Hail and Farewell" to the one, so even 
would we say "Hail and Hearty Welcome" to the other, 
as we place them both together deep down in the innermost 
recesses of our grateful hearts, devoutly thanking God for 
His gift to America of such sons. 

This nation looks back to-day and thanks God that in a 
great crisis the children it had nurtured in peace and pros- 
perity suddenly showed the stuff of heroes. They were not 
afraid to dare and to die when the bugle rang clear across 



Commemoration Sermon 7 

the quiet fields. Wherever and however duty called, they 
answered with their lives. 

Let the nation also thank God that it still breeds the 
men who make life great by service and sacrifice; that time 
and work and pleasure and wealth have not sapped the 
sources of its inward strength; that it still knows how to 
dare and to do all in that hour when manhood alone counts 
and achieves. 

As I have been thinking over what I have written and have 
just spoken to you about these men from the Rice Institute, 
and the other men of all sorts and conditions from all over 
this country, of what they went forth to do and what they 
did in complete self-abandonment, in a spirit so fine that it 
seemed not even to be conscious of itself as it went to its 
terrible task as a mere matter of course in the day's duty, 
I have been led to try to take once more the measure of the 
meaning of gratitude, of a man's debt — every man's debt — 
of gratitude to his fellow-men and to God. 

The spirit of gratitude is the finest virtue, the fairest and 
sweetest flower, of personal character. It requires far more 
refinement and dignity of nature to receive consciously and 
acknowledge gracefully and gratefully a favor or a gift or a 
service than it does to render the same to another. The 
impulse of the crude, unrestrained, undisciplined nature is 
to stand back from and reject the thought of favor, of being 
served — to resent the sense of personal obligation. It would 
prefer to think and to feel and to say of itself, "I am in- 
dependent!" No! No human being in all this world is or 
ever was independent; and the sense of independence is 
engendered in men only by crass ignorance and selfishness 
and vulgar arrogance. All stately souls bow themselves 
graciously in gratitude and thankfulness before both God 



8 Commemoration Sermon 

and their fellow-men. Gratitude is ever the authentic sign 
of the true man, the true gentleman, the highest type of 
man. And why? Because the one plainest fact of human 
life everywhere, of whatever rank or station, of whatever 
sort or condition, is the fact of God's service to man — a 
service, let us never forget, which we see rendered, not only 
and not chiefly in the beneficent arrangements of material 
nature, but more plainly and more emphatically and more 
really in man's service to man. The divine is always serving 
and ministering to the human, we say; yes, undoubtedly so; 
but if that declaration has any clear and definite meaning 
to us, it means that this service is rendered ever and at its 
best through human agencies, through other men. The one 
divinest thing in the world that we know, i.e., the good, the 
best, the highest, the noblest that is in man — the spiritual 
image and likeness to God in which he is made — is always 
serving his fellow-men. And it is just in proportion as we 
become conscious of our fellow-men, just as we come really 
to know them, and to know what they have done and are ever 
doing, that we come to be possessed of the spirit of gratitude 
and thankfulness — of gratitude and thankfulness first to our 
fellow-men and then quickly through them to God. If we 
are not grateful, it is simply because we do not know, we are 
ignorant of both men and God; and then we are but little, 
if at all, better than the beasts of the field, for we have lost 
the humanness of human life, and losing that we have lost 
consciousness of all divineness and glory in any life, and 
living becomes only a beastly scramble and fight for mate- 
rial gain. 

In his Thanksgiving Day Proclamation of 19 14, President 
Wilson wrote : 



Commemoration Sermon 9 

Our people have looked upon their own life with a deeper com- 
prehension; they have been quickened by a great moral stimulation; 
they have had themselves revealed to themselves. 

It was two years and more before we went into the war 
when he wrote that; and if it was true then that "we had 
ourselves revealed to ourselves," it is a thousand times truer 
to-day after having gone Into the war. And if we have 
ever known, or if we are ever to know, one another in this 
country, we know now. And what we know beyond all 
question and doubt is this — that every element of the whole 
citizenship of our country, the highest and the lowest, the 
rich and the poor, the learned and the ignorant, the strong 
and the weak, the high and the lowly, money-man and work- 
ing-man, white man and red man and black man — all of 
them — have gone in the person of their sons to strive and 
to dare and to do even to the mouth of death and of hell 
for the protection of their country. And to-day all of our 
liberties, our institutions, our prosperity, our property, our 
homes, our very life, all that we have and all that we are, 
we owe absolutely to the service and sacrifice of these brave 
and true sons of all these various elements of our citizen- 
ship. 

There Is the measure of the "debt of gratitude" resting 
upon us here in America ; and there are they to whom 
WE owe it. We may not In any relationship ever overlook 
or forget those men who fought the bitter fight for us and 
who won the victory whose fruits we now enjoy and shall 
continue to enjoy through the years to come. These "others 
have labored, and we have entered Into the fruits of their 
labor." 

To what final thought does all this lead us? We, the people 
here In these United States, all of us alike, are bound to- 



10 Commemoration Sermon 

gether under the everlasting and unchangeable laws of 
Almighty God into one living body, one organism, one great 
family, in which every member and all the members serve 
and are dependent upon every other and all the other mem- 
bers. The farthest distance between any two elements of 
our citizenship is the distance between two individual mem- 
bers of the same family, or the distance of your head from 
your foot in your living body. And no one member of such 
corporate life, in governmental or industrial or economic or 
other relationship, can for a moment forget or overlook any 
other member without being guilty of treachery to the body; 
and treachery in any organic relationship is a capital offense. 

If, therefore, we are indeed thus mutually dependent upon 
one another, members one of another, bound together in 
every direction in interdependent relationship, merged Into 
a common life, then, if one member suffers, all the others 
suffer with it; if one is honored, all the others rejoice with 
it; and it is not possible for any one element of our citizen- 
ship to go forward except as the whole goes forward to- 
gether. 

I make my earnest plea to-day that we strive to realize 
more and more the unity of our common life in America 
in an ever-growing sense of gratitude one to another as we 
see and recognize the mutual service we are rendering one 
to another. 

As the result of this splendid gathering at Rice's first 
reunion, and especially of this Service of Commemoration, 
my prayer to God is that we shall not only lift up to-day 
into our thought and love those of our companions who 
have "gone West," or those who have come back, but that 
we shall also, not only to-day but all days, lift up equally into 
our thought and sympathy and into our devotion of service 
every element of the whole people of this country, that so 



Commemoration Sermon 1 1 

none shall be forgotten or overlooked, that we shall realize 
and know that as one people together we shall stand In 
mutual trust and confidence and common effort and service 
— or we shall not stand at all. 

Peter Gray Sears.
